Oh, a three day weekend feels completely weird. Like, great. But we’re not doing anything. Or going anywhere. Woohoo!

We have herbs being delivered on Saturday, so I guess we’ll plant those. Exciting times.

One of my girlfriend’s canceled her 40th in March, miscarried in late April, she was past the 3 month mark, and postponed her Labor Day weekend wedding. Talk about a shitty year.

Miel, have a blast tomorrow. It’s an exciting day. Let us know how it goes!!!

I’m happy for you Miel! Congrats!! ETA: I asked the husband if we could get married at the courthouse almost daily leading up to our wedding. And we had an intimate ceremony (immediate family, his two grandparents, my one, and we each had a friend and their spouse/his friend married us).

Also happening on May 15th and I’m oddly excited about, IDK why, I guess because I need something ridiculous and familiar right now… the new Scoob movie. I loved Scoobie Doo as a kid. This one apparently pays homage to Hannah Barbera. They even added the opening sequence last minute. I’m a dork. Whatever.

Finally, @BGM, not only do I want you to make my Chicago rooftop space a garden oasis, I want you to decorate my condo.

Hmm, Copa, I wonder if you have RAM (or whatever, IDK the lingo) to properly run InDesign.

I solely work in InDesign. Our company has three levels of laptops depending on your job. One size for people who work mostly in CAD all day. One for people like me who use InDesign or other similar programs and one for executives who mostly read docs and are on e-mail. And even me getting the “middle” option, sometimes it crashes InDesign if my file is too big or I have too much open.

The screen thing, I don’t get at all. That’s annoying.

@materialsgirl, it helped me. Tremendously. I didn’t want her to ever leave. I mean, as I said, I feel like a hypocrite but at the same time, I’m not out and about completely disregarding the rules. It’s a very fine line. And it’s also something that I won’t attempt again for two+ weeks just in case we failed and one of us gets sick.

ETA: I wanted to embrace her so, so much. We didn’t. Obviously. That was the hardest part.

Full disclosure, my single friend who lives alone biked to our place on Saturday and we sat, apart from one another, on my roof for a long while. Maybe I’m also one of the a holes. I was the first person she saw since March. And vice versa.

The husband and I have a very short list of people we will see in situations like that. It’s unsustainable otherwise. Especially for people like my friend who is by herself. But we also decided we won’t try a social distanced visit for a minimum of two weeks.
